I, Jonathan Eder of Hollis in the County of Hillsborough and State of New Hampshire - formerly of Cockenmouth, now called Hebron, in the County of Grafton and State aforesaid, depose and say, - That in January A.D. 1776 - I enlisted into a company, commanded by Capt. Eunett, in the Regiment, commanded by Col. Bedel, in the New Hampshire line in the Continental Service, and continued to serve in the same as a Private Soldier against the common enemy till the December following, when I was honorably discharged - That in the Summer of A.D. 1779 I enlisted again into the service of the United States for two years & was assigned to a company, commanded by Capt. Ellis in the Regiment commanded by Col. Dearborn, in the New Hampshire line and continued in the Continental Service till about December A.D. 1780, when I was again discharged.
I further depose, that I have never received any pension from the United States: that I am now seventy three years old - very infirm and wholly destitute of property except what is afforded me by the charity of individuals and the Town where I reside - and that I therefore need assistance from my country for support.
